With the strong wave in favor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) running across Punjab, many stalwarts of the state politics, including current and former chief ministers, bite the dust in the electoral battle for the Assembly polls.
In a major embarrassment for the Congress, incumbent CM, Charanjit Singh Channi lost both the Assembly seats, Chamkaur Sahib and Bhadaur, to little known AAP candidates by a margin of 7942 and 37,558 votes respectively.
This was Channi’s first election in Bhadaur but he had won the Chamkaur Sahib seat three consecutive times before this.
